All this nostalgia sent me in search of my log-book for some ANSETT flying stats :
I logged some 385,200 kms in 497.15 hrs on 153 flights (164 sectors) with ANSETT.
I have done around 28% of my total flying on ANSETT.
First 27/11/69 AN 029 BNE/SYD 727-77C VH-RMS
Last 11/12/01 AN 247 SYD/PER A320-211 VH-HYH.
Most logged aircraft was the A320 (64 flights) got 'em all except HYL.
Also did some 46 flights on 767s (flew RMG 11 times).
Was also fortunate to be invited up for 29 jump-seat landings, plus 3 complete flights in the jumpseat including a fog diversion where flight time was 6 hours.
Also had my longest trans-continental flight when RMG took over 6 hours one night battling headwinds SYD/PER.
Thanks for the memories, I'll miss you guys.
